An Act For the relief of Joseph B. Tanner.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the
Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and
directed to pay to Joseph B. Tanner, of Shiprock, New Mexico, out of
any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of
$250, for reimbursement of the amount forfeited by him for
nondelivery at the Navajo Springs Indian Agency, Colorado, of three
hundred and eighty-five head of two-year-old heifers of Hereford
blood, and fifteen bulls not less than three-fourths Hereford blood,
two-year-olds and

three-year-olds, the sum in question having been deposited by him in
the form of a certified check guaranteeing the performance of his
contract to deliver these animals, which check was forfeited to the
Government on account of his failure to make delivery under his
agreement through a misunderstanding of the true meaning and intent
of his contract as between the said Tanner and the inspecting official
representing the Government.
